THE VERDICT
The Demand Series lives up to Definitive Technology&amp;rsquo;s pedigree with satisfying, well-balanced sound that offers loads of resolution.
Nature abhors a vacuum, but wasting cabinet real estate is standard operating procedure among loudspeaker designers. With the notable exception of Atmos-enabled speakers and the occasional tweeter pod, the top panel of most speakers is a blank nothing. But does it have to be that way? Definitive Technology answered no, in effect, with its original Studio Monitor Series of bookshelf/stand-mount speakers (circa 2012) and does so again in this new update, the Demand Series.

A high-performing, moderately compact, one-carton speaker solution for serious home theater&amp;mdash;with Atmos.
Focal, the French loudspeaker maker&amp;mdash;the French loudspeaker maker (there are others, but really, name one)&amp;mdash;is best known on these shores for the Utopia series of haute-highend ultra-towers, which, cresting at something like $185,000 for a pair, step well over what I think of as the Che Guevara line. (That&amp;rsquo;s the line across which, following the revolution, anyone owning a pair can count on a very long vacation at state expense in a re-education camp.)

THE VERDICT
Sonos was slow to deliver a voice-controlled smart speaker, but with integrated Alexa (and Google Assistant arriving soon) in what amounts to a redesigned Play:1, they&#39;ve created a nearly irresistible, low-cost intro to their wireless ecosystem.
The full impact of the home-based voice-actuated assistant, invented first by Amazon in the guise of Alexa, then followed by Google and now Apple with its Siri-driven HomePod, has yet to be felt. The category has loosely evolved into what we are now calling the &quot;smart speaker,&quot; though it is not the speaker, but the microphone (or mic array) in conjunction with a network connection that imbues these devices with their extraordinary power. Sure, the speaker plays music, perhaps the simplest of its voice-controlled functions and (according to a recent study by NPR/Edison Research, the activity a smart speaker is still most frequently used for). But the opportunity presented by an artificially intelligent device that can respond to human language and trigger any number of events in our environment possesses extraordinary potential for transforming our lives. The fact that the most sophisticated of these voice interfaces to date, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, are offered in open, licensed platforms and being constantly advanced and promoted by two of the world&#39;s richest tech giants, suggests that we are on the verge of an explosion of innovation. The best is yet to come.

Disappointing phono preamp
THE VERDICT
Klipsch&rsquo;s beautifully crafted Sixes deliver fine sound with the bonus of onboard power, but vinyl playback is shortchanged by its pedestrian phono preamp.
I&rsquo;ve been talking about pulling my old turntable out of mothballs since I moved to my current home, oh&hellip;20 years ago. Which is why I jumped at the chance when asked if I had any interest in auditioning The Sixes, the latest entry in Klipsch&rsquo;s Heritage Wireless series and big brother to The Three, the superb all-in-one wireless music system we reviewed in May. I know what you&rsquo;re thinking: What does reviewing speakers have to do with setting up a turntable? Bear with me.

THE VERDICT
If you&amp;rsquo;re looking to plug your turntable directly into a good-looking and functional pair of speakers, the Kanto YU6 will make it work&amp;mdash;and sound great.
Why shouldn&amp;rsquo;t life be simpler? If there&amp;rsquo;s one thing your studio apartment, dorm room, bedroom, or guest bedroom doesn&amp;rsquo;t need, it&amp;rsquo;s an audio rack with a tangle of cables. But going without music would be barbaric. So how simple do you need to get? If a bare-bones Bluetooth speaker isn&amp;rsquo;t enough, a pair of powered speakers might make more sense. You&amp;rsquo;d have a stereo soundstage without the fuss of an outboard amp and rack.

PRICE $2,143 as reviewed
THE VERDICT
Emotiva&amp;rsquo;s BasX surround processor, five-channel amp, and speakers offer an affordable and high-performing starter system that puts you into audio separates without breaking the bank.
Surround separates are generally regarded as a step up from receivers. If you want the biggest and best, and have to ask their prices, you probably can&amp;rsquo;t afford them. But ask me the prices of Emotiva&amp;rsquo;s new BasX surround preamp/processor and multichannel amplifier, along with a set of compact speakers from the same series. The answers are $599, $499, and $1,045, totaling $2,143 for a 5.1-channel system of electronics and speakers. That would buy a midpriced receiver and a decent (but probably smaller) satellite/subwoofer set.

THE VERDICT
Sony&rsquo;s high-end soundbar-subwoofer twosome delivers natural, tightly imaged, Atmos/DTS:X-abetted sound along with striking, understated good looks.
Soundbars are marching relentlessly up-market, and Sony is right there with the Dolby Atmos- and DTS:X-capable HT-ST5000, which carries a list price of $1,500 and is being widely promoted this holiday season at $1,298 from the major retailers. It checks all the latest boxes: scarily slim, seriously wireless (including a wireless subwoofer), and no-rear-speakers faux surround sound.

THE VERDICT
The Yamaha YAS-207, which uses DTS Virtual:X processing to simulate height and surround effects, sounds pretty good and is easy on your checkbook.
When Dolby Atmos and, shortly thereafter, DTS:X made their debuts, I expected I&rsquo;d soon be reviewing a flood of speaker systems and receivers supporting object-oriented surround in a 360-degree soundfield. My hope was that height-capable surround would spark renewed interest in surround speaker packages and receivers &amp;mdash; and in home theater overall.

THE VERDICT
Riva Audio continues a tradition of excellent sound quality with the WAND series, the company&amp;rsquo;s first wireless multiroom speakers.
I first met Riva Audio founder Rikki Farr and chief engineer (now also president) Don North in the fall of 2014 when they marched into Sound &amp;amp; Vision&amp;rsquo;s New York City conference room to demo their first product, a Bluetooth speaker called the Turbo X. North was a youthful, glasses-wearing geek who had just enough of the right credentials and tech swagger to suggest he really knew what he was doing.

A week ago, if you had asked me if I could love a $550 portable speaker, I would have laughed you out of my listening room. Yet here I am, just days later, completely smitten with the Oslo speaker from Vifa, a Danish speaker manufacturer. It&rsquo;s uniquely stylish, massively overbuilt, and the sound is amazing. I am in love with the Oslo.
